“ Really lovely country pub - very traditional and hasn't succumbed to becoming too modern. Quite rural but with an amazing garden to sit out in summer. Food is very good, definitely order the 'chips' as a side! A roaring fire on a cold winter day. Service really friendly. Overall would definitely visit again. ”

“ Have visited over the years and each time the service and food are excellent. Great wine list and excellent menu with lots of variety. You are not rushed or asked to leave your table after a few hours the whole experience is five star. ”

“ Lovely staff. Unbelievably good food. I've done a few Michelin stars and these guys certainly deserve theirs. Wines we picked ourselves but matched the food perfectly, desserts were lovely and the dessert wines went really well with the treacle tart (amazing) and chocolate panna cotta (also amazing). ”

“ We have dined at Sir Charles Napier multiple times now and each time was better than the one before. The food is amazing, the staff is wonderful and the grounds are charming. A must visit if you are looking for a wonderful experience. ”

“ Absolutely delighted to share our experience at Sir Charles Napier in Chinnor a hidden gem that exceeded all expectations! First off, let’s put any concerns to rest: parking is no issue at all. There’s plenty of space on a well maintained gravel surface, so you can arrive stress-free and ready to relax. This place is perfectly suited for couples, families with older children, or even a special celebration or corporate dinner. Whether you’re seeking a romantic evening, a memorable gathering, or a professional setting with character, Sir Charles Napier delivers on all fronts. We found it to be a little gold mine in Chinnor, a real treasure tucked away in the countryside. One of the most charming features is the beautiful garden out back, where you can enjoy a leisurely walk among stunning sculptures, vibrant flowers, and an impressive oak tree that stands proudly at the bottom of the garden. It’s the perfect pre or post-dinner stroll that adds a peaceful touch to the whole experience. We were seated on The Terrace, which was absolutely lovely nestled under a vine and surrounded by blooming flowers. The tables are spaced out thoughtfully, offering privacy and a relaxed atmosphere. Everything about the setting spoke of care and attention to detail. You can feel the history here, with roots going back to 1965 and it’s still family run, which really shows in the warmth and pride of the place. The staff were truly outstanding, striking the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness, and the food was cooked to absolute perfection full of flavour and clearly made with finesse. We didn’t get to dine inside this time, but that just gives us a reason to return which we most definitely will! If you’re anywhere near Chinnor, do not miss this place. It’s a rare combination of elegance, charm, and down to earth hospitality. Highly recommended! ”

“ What a lovely surprise - We stumbled on this lovely restaurant by accident, not aware of its history and culinary expertise. What a lovely place! Obviously food was amazing, staff was lovely offering us a table, without a prior reservation, which I'm sure wasn't a common occurance. Atmosphere which log fires, lovely decor and lovely garden gave a great feel of British country side with French summer dining. Thanks to the staff for a lovely desert and for accommodating us! ”

“ Really nice place, very much outside of all the action of the city. Great garden and tasty food. ”

“ Our meal here couldn’t have been better - we absolutely loved it. We informed them beforehand that we are vegetarian, and they brought two sets of appetisers (both delicious) and some lovely fresh bread before our meal on the house. The mushroom tart and pumpkin soup were wonderful, as was the sweetcorn risotto. All the staff were really kind and attentive, the atmosphere is relaxed and the garden also looks beautiful (we went in the evening so probably even better in the day). I would really highly recommend a visit, and we’d love to return. ”
